Definitions
- the body controls the intracellular osmotic action through balancing the metal ions.
- various minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and the like necessary for the human body are supplied by drinking water.
- alkalescence water Since the human body is mostly made of acid, it is preferable to drink alkalescence water to neutralize it. In addition to neutralization, the alkalescence water is known to inhibit cancer, to help activities of antioxidants and enzymes in the body, to improve digestion and absorption of food, and to strengthen immunity.
- Hydrogen-containing water not only exhibits the above-mentioned effects, and but also provides radiation decontamination efficacy which was found when radioactive pollution became a serious global disaster due to releases of radioactivity at the time of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011. Thus, there is a large demand for hydrogen-containing water in the international community.

Description
- This application claims the benefit of
Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0059783 filed on May 16, 2016 - The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing hydrogen-containing water according to the appended claim 1.
- It is known that a person's physical condition can be closely related to the water that a person drinks.
- The body controls the intracellular osmotic action through balancing the metal ions. To this end, various minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and the like necessary for the human body are supplied by drinking water.
- Since the human body is mostly made of acid, it is preferable to drink alkalescence water to neutralize it. In addition to neutralization, the alkalescence water is known to inhibit cancer, to help activities of antioxidants and enzymes in the body, to improve digestion and absorption of food, and to strengthen immunity.
- Hydrogen-containing water not only exhibits the above-mentioned effects, and but also provides radiation decontamination efficacy which was found when radioactive pollution became a serious global disaster due to releases of radioactivity at the time of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011. Thus, there is a large demand for hydrogen-containing water in the international community.
- The hydrogen-containing water may convert the active oxygen in the body into water to be absorbed into the body or be discharged out from the body. Specifically, since hydrogen can pass through the cell membrane, it binds to harmful active oxygen in the cell and then the active oxygen combined with hydrogen is converted into water. Therefore, the hydrogen-containing water is becoming more popular because it has excellent effects on various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cerebral infarction and the like caused by excessive active oxygen in the body.

Theupper space 101 is disposed on the upper side of thelower space 103 and the connectingpassage 105 is disposed between theupper space 101 and thelower space 103. That is, in the apparatus for manufacturing hydrogen-containingwater 10, theupper space 101 where a cathode 121 (seeFIG. 5 ) is installed and thelower space 103 wherein an anode 123 (seeFIG. 5 ) is installed may be formed in one container, that is, in thecontainer part 100. - The
container part 100 may have an opened upper surface. As a result, the hydrogen-containing water generated in theupper space 101 can be discharged to the outside through the opened upper surface of thecontainer part 100. -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion A inFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIG. 5 , anion exchange membrane 110 and anelectrolytic part 120 may be coupled to thecontainer part 100. - The
ion exchange membrane 110 does not allow water to pass, but does allow positive ions, for example, hydrogen ions (H+) to pass. - The
ion exchange membrane 110 is a cation exchange membrane. - The
ion exchange membrane 110 is coupled to thecontainer part 100 to close the connectingpassage 105. The water contained in theupper space 101 cannot move to thelower space 103 and the water contained in thelower space 103 cannot move to theupper space 101. - The

cathode 121 and theanode 123 are as follows.
Scheme 1 Cathode: 4H2O + 4e- → 2H2 + 4OH- Anode: 2H20 → O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
- Referring to Scheme 1, hydrogen (H2) and hydroxide ions (OH-) may be generated in the

Theouter pipe 210 can be coupled to thecontainer part 100 and theinner pipe 220 may be disposed within theouter pipe 210 to be coupled to theouter pipe 230 via afirst bracket 230. Meanwhile, an outlet formed at one side of thecontainer part 100 may be formed to have a double pipe structure to be coupled to theconnection portion 200 having the double pipe structure. - The
handle part 300 is coupled to thecontainer part 100 through the connectingpart 200 to simultaneously provide a supply passage for water to be supplied to thelower space 103 and a discharge passage to discharge oxygen and ozone generated from thelower space 103. -

filter part 400 may be coupled to thehandle part 300 as shown inFIG. 1 . Oxygen(O2) and ozone(O3) may be continuously generated in thelower space 103 when the hydrogen-containing water production time elapses in the state where thefilter part 400 is coupled to thehandle part 300. However, since the upper surface of theinner pipe region 419 is closed by thestopper 451, oxygen(O2) and ozone(O3) are accumulated in thelower space 103, thereby increasing the pressure in thelower space 103. -
FIG. 14 is a cross-cross-sectional view illustrating an example of an apparatus for manufacturing hydrogen-containing water which is manufacturing hydrogen-containing water. - Referring to
FIG. 14 , when the pressure of thelower space 103 becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value, thestopper 451 that closes the upper surface of theinner pipe region 419 is raised while compressing theelastic member 455, so that the upper surface of theinner pipe region 419 may be opened. As a result, oxygen(O2) and ozone(O3) accumulated in thelower space 103 or newly generated in thelower space 103 may flow into thefilter member 430 sequentially passing through the space between theouter pipe 210 and theinner pipe 220, the space between thepipe member 310 and thefunnel member 320, the firstgas discharge groove 321, the secondgas discharge groove 414, the second throughhole 416, and theinner pipe region 419. - Oxygen(O2) may be discharged to the outside by passing through the
filter member 430 across themesh net 421, but ozone(O3) may be filtered by thefilter member 430. Meanwhile, oxygen(O2) and ozone(O3) accumulated in thelower space 103 or newly generated in thelower space 103 may flow into thefilter member 430 through a different path of theinner pipe 220, the inner space of thefunnel member 320, the first throughhole 415 and theinner pipe region 419 in order.
